Abstract
The method of electron beam melting and vacuum refining has clear advantages over other metallurgical methods since it enables manufacturing of refractory and chemically active metals. This study focuses on the efficiency of removing impurities from technogenic hafnium under multiple electron beam melting. Assessments are performed on the efficiency of double and triple e-beam melting processing of refractory metal hafnium. The influence of different e-beam melting technological modes on the refining effectiveness is investigated. A highest hafnium purity of 99.2% was achieved after double and triple e-beam refinements of the investigated materials, with the highest process efficiency reaching 61.58% and 51.07%, respectively.
